Hellenic Holidays: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Petros and Hellenic Holidays made our honeymoon planning and travel a piece of cake. We're usually people who like to plan our own itinerary when traveling, but because of how much other planning was going in to our wedding, we went with Hellenic Holidays instead. Petros was awesome for the entire experience. He listened to the type of trip we wanted, as well as the kinds of experiences we like to have, and came up with a playbook that really felt personalized to make it the best for us. His associates in Greece were extremely professional and kind, but above all else his food recommendations were TOP notch! As a testament to Petros specifically, there were two times when we were in Greece and had something urgent come up which needed an answer. When we called (it would have been about 1am local time for Petros), he answered and helped us out immediately. It feels rare to get that kind of service, and made our vacation run so smoothly. If you're wondering if it's worth it to hire Petros and Hellenic Holidays, we can say with 100% certainty that it is.
Thank you, Nick, for your thoughtful review! We're so glad to hear that your Greece honeymoon experience was so memorable. We are thankful for your kind words and we look forward to working with you to plan another magical Greece vacation!
Fantastic experience: Hellenic Holidays curated for us a superb holiday. The attention to detail and flexibility was extraordinary. We could not have asked for a better vacation! Kudos to Petros and company for providing the best we could hope for! Petros’ insight into the places we visited was so valuable. We can’t wait to plan our next Greek Islands sojourn with Hellenic Holidays Inc.
Thank you, Arist, for your thoughtful review! We're so glad to hear that your Greece vacation experience was so memorable. We are thankful for your kind words and we look forward to working with you to plan another magical Greece vacation!
Fantastic experience: My partner and I booked our trip to Greece with Petros G. Zissimos of Hellenic Holidays, seeking an authentic island experience rather than a cruise. Petros curated a wonderful itinerary that took us from Athens to Mykonos, then by ferry to Naxos, and finally to Santorini. He coordinated every transfer and driver flawlessly—his network of trusted partners is impressive, and not a single detail was missed. Petros also suggested and arranged unique experiences on each island, all of which we thoroughly enjoyed. If you’re dreaming of a fun, seamless, and truly memorable vacation in Greece, we highly recommend reaching out to Petros at Hellenic Holidays. Brian and Sandra
Thank you, Sandra, for your thoughtful review! We're so glad to hear that your Greece vacation experience was so memorable. We are thankful for your kind words and we look forward to working with you to plan another magical Greece vacation!
Fantastic experience: We just returned from an unforgettable trip to Greece, visiting Crete, Santorini, and Naxos, all arranged by Hellenic Tours. Petros was spot on with every recommendation — from charming little restaurants to stunning seaside hotels that felt five-star all the way. The excursions he planned were unique, never tourist traps, and gave us memorable chances to meet locals and experience authentic Greece. His food recommendations were outstanding! Petros also arranged excellent accommodations, smooth island transfers, and top-notch limousine services. Petros’s deep knowledge of each island and attention to detail made the trip seamless and special. I highly recommend Hellenic Tours — and be sure to ask for Petros to plan your next Greek holiday!
Thank you, Cini, for your thoughtful review! We're so glad to hear that your Greece vacation experience was so memorable. We are thankful for your kind words and we look forward to working with you to plan another magical Greece vacation!
Fantastic experience: We returned from a two week vacation organized by Hellenic Holidays and rave reviews all around. There are not many instances these days in which a company overdelivers on value. We were right on budget and felt fully taken care of the entire trip! The hotels were wonderful, transfers seamless and flights/ferries perfectly organized. Petros knows Greece inside and out and it shows. I highly recommend.
Thank you, Katie, for your thoughtful review! We're so glad to hear that your Greece vacation experience was so memorable. We are thankful for your kind words and we look forward to working with you to plan another magical Greece vacation!
Fantastic experience: Petros and his team did an outstanding job planning our family vacation to Greece. Itinerary, ferry and ground transportation details were expertly considered and the hotel selections were beyond beautiful - jaw dropping views! It was our first time in Greece and we can’t wait to go back - with help from Petros once again. Highly recommend for anyone considering a Greece itinerary. Thank you, Petros and team!
Thank you, Noreen, for your thoughtful review! We're so glad to hear that your Greece vacation experience was so memorable. We are thankful for your kind words and we look forward to working with you to plan another magical Greece vacation!
Fantastic experience: This maybe the best experience and value I've ever had in my many traveling years. This was a very special family vacation for the 7 of us ranging in age from 12 to 82. I was returning to the country where my parents were born and came from to start a new life in “America”, were they would work and start a family as teenagers. It was my opportunity to introduce my grandchildren to Greece, it’s beauty, people and history. Petros did an amazing job putting together the dream “I wanted” based on all the possibilities he had at his disposal . This was to be a unique family adventure. This meant listening and planning on the front end. Petros did that. His attention to detail in every aspect of planning and execution was superb. Everything went perfectly as planned. ( In Greece this can sometimes be challenging). The contacts were expecting us, knew exactly who we were, and took over immediately to handle all our needs and got us situated. They were so courteous. The guides were exceptional, well educated and experienced. The drivers excellent and in perfect harmony with the guides. The rooms were perfect and so well located. Thank you to all of the Hellenic Holliday family and supporting staff throughout our adventure in making this Family’s dream come true. Thank you Petros. Van Vagianos
Thank you, Van, for your thoughtful review! We're so glad to hear that your Greece vacation experience was so memorable. We are thankful for your kind words and we look forward to working with you to plan another magical Greece vacation!
Fantastic experience: My wife and I were referred to Hellenic Holidays from trusted friends, and we were 1000% satisfied. We had an unbelievable honeymoon experience. Every step of the way - every airport car transfer, restaurant recommendation, hotel accommodation, planned activity - was accounted for and top-notch. Petros and his team curated an experience to what my wife and I like to do, and also offered options that could allow us to step out of our comfort zone. It was a perfect balance. Hellenic's knowledge of the landscape, the places to go, eat, and do, and their relationships with vendors made the trip smooth and unforgettable. Highlights included a delicious restaurant in Athens, a beautiful hotel accommodation right on the beach in Naxos, and a one of a kind sunset boat road in Santorini. If you're going to Greece and you're not using Hellenic, you are doing yourself a disservice.
Thank You Josh! It was a true pleasure working with you and making your honeymoon, a trip of a lifetime! The pictures are fantastic! Efharisto Poli!
Fantastic experience: Hellenic Holidays is a 5 star travel agency that specializes on custom designing high quality Greece vacation trips. Hellenic Holidays is very connected in the travel industry to ensure that all your needs are met and / or exceeded.
Thank You Dan! It was a true pleasure working with you and making your Greece trip, one to remember! Efharisto Poli!
Fantastic experience: Greece was on our bucket list and Petros and Hellenic Holidays made it the trip of a lifetime! Petros interviewed us to find out what kind of experience we were looking for and arranged everything from the perfect hotels, tours with the best guides, restaurant suggestions and even ferry and plane transfers and reservations. He gave us a 32 page play list with detailed information on everything we were doing. We would give him a 10 if the stars went that high. Absoultly recommend him!
Thank You Jan! It was a true pleasure working with you and making your vision a trip of a lifetime! Efharisto Poli!
Fantastic experience: My husband and I had an amazing trip to Greece. Petros handled every detail, from private transfers from airports and ferries to outstanding accommodations. The chosen hotels and luxury suites had attentive staffs, were beautifully decorated, and met all of our needs. Our rooms were perfectly located and had spectacular views, which made us appreciate them even more. Highly recommend Hellenic Holidays to plan your trip!
Thank you, Michele, for your thoughtful review! We're so glad to hear that your Greece vacation experience was so memorable. We are thankful for your kind words and we look forward to working with you to plan another magical Greece vacation!
Fantastic experience: We are still reveling in the many memories and fantastic experiences we had in Greece. The whole package that was put together exceeded our expectations in every way. It is hard to know when you take a trip like this what to expect and how everything will play out, but Petros put together an amazing itinerary that we will remember for a very long time. If we had to do it all over again, we would not change a thing. Everything from the local guides, restaurant recommendations, hotel properties, the amount of time spent in each place, the private transportation, order of the trip, variety of the activities and overall communication were excellent. We feel that there was great value in what the trip cost and what we received. We highly recommend Petros and Hellenic Holidays and you will too!
Thank you, Julie, for your thoughtful review! We're so glad to hear that your Greece vacation experience was so memorable. We are thankful for your kind words and we look forward to working with you to plan another magical Greece vacation!
Fantastic experience: Hellenic Holidays is the go to travel agent for Greece travels. Petros was amazing to talk with and his vast knowledge of all the beautiful islands and really just all things Greece helped us pick our dream honeymoon. Petros gives suggestions on activities, restaurants and must see locations. He was always there when we needed him for last minute questions or changes and we couldn’t be more grateful to Petros for making our dream honeymoon a reality. If you want the best possible experience you must use Petros and his team at Hellenic. 10/10
Thank you, Jason, for your thoughtful review! We're so glad to hear that your Greece vacation experience was so memorable. We are thankful for your kind words and we look forward to working with you to plan another magical Greece vacation!
Fantastic experience: I’m not one to leave reviews, for Hellenic Holidays I had to!. What an amazing experience/vacation to beautiful Greece. The team at Hellenic Holidays curated the prefect vacation playbook, I considered it my bible during my mother daughter vacation. The suggestions and tips provided were prefect! Including all recommended excursions. We are already saving for our next Grecian adventure with Hellenic Holidays!
Fantastic experience: For a hands-off, laid back, just show up at the appointed time vacation, Hellenic Holidays is your choice for travel to Greece. My husband and I could not have had a better experience than booking travel with them. Every small detail was handled and it was a pleasure to not have to think of anything except enjoying our time in Greece. The hotels and their locations chosen were spot on and so were the many recommendations for food and activities to plan on your own. Book your trip to Greece with Petros. It’s handled!
Negative experience: We thought choosing Hellenic was a no brainer given all the great reviews, but we were left scratching our heads because our experience was the total opposite from many of the posted reviews. While the trip itself was 5 stars the service from Hellenic Holidays was a terrible experience. Our representative was condescending and poor with communication throughout the entire process. He unapologetically missed deliverable dates without any prior notice and it wouldn’t be until we followed up several times that he would follow through. The excursion in the original package that was most important to us was removed from our revised proposal without telling us, he forgot to send us our boarding passes, on our way home we had no scheduled driver and eventually a cab was sent after 45 minutes upon our arrival even though we paid for deluxe private vehicle transfers with driver wait time fees included. The list goes on and on. Even with all the above examples I would not be writing this review had it not been for our representative’s attitude towards us. He was always rude, condescending and never apologized, but instead always made excuses or worse blamed us for every mishap. I highly recommend visiting Greece. But I do not recommend this company.
Fantastic experience: We had a fantastic experience working with Petros for our very first vacation to Greece, and we won't hesitate to use him again for our next one. He has the inside track on all the activities that one can do while in Greece, and really pays close attention to what you want to accomplish on your vacation. The more details you can provide him, the more options and selections he can provide. Everything from types of hotels / villas, to places to eat, and any excursions that meet your lifestyle. Before we left for Greece, he provides a very thorough and well thought out playbook on the history of the city / island you're visiting, the activities you may want to schedule while you're there (if not already done so), and a plethora of suggestions as to where to eat. His team also coordinates all domestic travel while your visiting the country (ferry transportation, airfare for traveling domestically, taxis / black car service going from ports to hotels and vice versa). This was an amazing experience for us, and I have memories that will last a lifetime. If you're interested in making any trip back to Greece, I can't recommend Petros and Hellenic Holidays enough. It was a pleasure working with him, and I'd do so again.
Fantastic experience: I just got back from a 8 night Athens, Mykonos and Santorini group bday trip. I cannot say enough about the trip prepared for us by Hellenic ! We were treated like rock stars, between the amazing transfers, beyond beautiful hotels and perfect location on each island. I went with a group of 6 and each of us said this was by far the greatest vacation we’ve been on. Petros definitely knows Greece and has contacts there that love him as well, as when we mebtioned him we were treated as royalty. If you’re planning a Greek island vacation, look no further.
Fantastic experience: This was the trip of a lifetime. Every detail from start to finish was perfect. Petros worked with us to find our interests, then booked each detail specifically for us. The hotels were delightful with the best food you can imagine. The playbook had so much information it made the trip relaxing and easy. We formed relationships with people each step of the way. I would wholeheartedly recommend Hellenic Holidays, and look forward to another trip with them in the future!
Fantastic experience: We have nothing but accolades for Petros! He ensured every detail of our two-week vacation in Greece met or exceeded our expectations. Like many people, we're sure, we had planned to visit Greece in 2020, only to have the trip postponed by the pandemic. We approached Petros again early in 2022 and he helped us pick up right where we left off two years earlier, as if it was yesterday. Covering Athens, Crete, Santorini and Mykonos over 13 days, this was an ambitious trip for us, especially because we were traveling with our grown children, one of whom is autistic. We had no doubt that Petros would do an excellent job choosing our hotels and recommending restaurants and excursions (and he did!). But it was essential that the logistical things -- transfers, ferries, etc -- go very smoothly. Petros earns an A+++ for this -- not only was every detail planned and carried out perfectly, we felt like we were getting first class treatment every day of the trip. The crowning touch was an upgrade to our hotel stay in Mykonos, where we finally luxuriated for three days after nine days of packing in as much as we could see. Our two-year wait was more than worth it! We highly recommend Petros; you can be very confident putting your travel in his hands. Bob & Carrie Nikodem
Fantastic experience: This was so nice place.
Fantastic experience: Top notch service from start to finish. We used Hellenic Holidays for our Honeymoon and Petros planned every detail, allowing us to fully enjoy the time away and in the beautiful Grecian ☀️ Tons of fun memories without having to think about any of the planning. Would recommend to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Our vacation through Hellenic Holidays was nothing short of magical. Petros is truly an expert and his knowledge and contacts for every area we travelled was amazing. Everything from our car, boat and air transfers to our hotels, to our tours was seamless and flawless. The staff and drivers at each of our hotels were beyond kind and exceedingly helpful and welcoming. Truly this was the vacation of a lifetime and my husband and I highly recommend Hellenic Holidays.
Fantastic experience: We recently enjoyed an absolutely fabulous trip to Greece thanks to Petros at Hellenic Holidays. The trip was initially planned to take place two years ago, pre-Covid, and postponed again last year. Then, at the last minute this year, we needed to add two additional people to our trip. Although I’m sure it wasn’t easy, through it all, Petros kept things on track and due to his incredible planning things went off without a hitch and the trip was fantastic! We visited Athens, Naxos, and Santorini. In each location, the hotels were perfect, the transfers and transportation went very smoothly, the activities were great fun, and Petros’ recommendations and advice were spot on. The detailed plan or playbook he provided made things extremely easy and he checked in periodically during the trip. Working with Petros and Hellenic Holidays was in all respects a very positive experience. I recommend them without reservation!!
Fantastic experience: Petros planned an absolutely perfect trip for my husband’s and my 10 year anniversary. We visited Athens, Naxos, and Santorini and every leg of the trip was uniquely amazing. Our hotels were gorgeous and well located and the planned and recommended activities and restaurants were all incredible. The transfers were very easy and stress free. There’s no way - even with hours and hours of research - I could have planned a trip this amazing myself. It was really magical and all within our budget. Petros has a gift and knows Greece inside and out. I cannot wait to go back!!!
Fantastic experience: We recently returned from a customized vacation to Greece that exceeded our expectations thanks to Petros at Hellenic Holidays. His knowledge, expertise and attention to detail were invaluable. He customized a truly amazing trip with first class accommodations, restaurant recommendations, a sailing excursion and transportation between the islands. Petros takes the time to get to know his clients providing them with a truly memorable vacation. Everything you need to know is detailed in a playbook with your customized itinerary. He thinks of everything including recommendations and suggestions for each day. If you are planning a trip to Greece, look no further as Petros (Hellenic Holidays) is the way to go! I highly recommend him for your travel to Greece. Thank you so much Petros!
Fantastic experience: Incredible trip with impeccable detailed planning by Petros! Could not be happier after having to wait 2 years for this trip due to COVID issues. The small boutique and luxury hotels Petros selected for us were absolutely PERFECT! The people at each location could not do enough for us. Very much appreciated all of the transfer travel planning. This made our lives much easier. We took advantage of several suggested activities and restaurants and every one was a very positive experience. I normally plan our vacations myself but Petros is the clear master at the Greek vacation and I was so thankful I trusted him with the responsibility. Thank you Petros. Our "Trip of a lifetime" was much better than we had a right to imagine!
Fantastic experience: I can honestly say this was the best planned, most relaxing vacation we have ever taken. The hotels Petros chose were spectacular, the itinerary was well conceived, and the all the arrangements were ideal. The restaurant recommendations were excellent. If you are planning a trip to Greece and the Greek Islands, Hellenic Holidays is the way to go.
Fantastic experience: Petros and Hellenic Holidays was the perfect choice for planning our honeymoon. We were able to tell Petros some key things we wanted on our trip and he planned an amazing two weeks for us! It was such a relief to know that he had organized everything and we barely had to lift a finger. Every meal was amazing, all of the traveling and car transfers were prearranged, and each hotel was perfect for us. Everyone seemed to know Petros and we were constantly treated with first class service. If you want to go to Greece, choose Hellenic Holidays!
Fantastic experience: The trip was amazing! It exceeded all of our expectations. We can’t wait to go back. We will be going back, and Petros is the only person we would trust with that. In Athens- our driver Jim was so patient and friendly and took the time to drive us around the plaka to give us a lay of the land since we were late due to a three hour flight delay. Our dinner at 2mazi really set the bar high for the rest of our dinners and did not disappoint. The new hotel was the perfect location in the middle of all the action. The private walking tour was amazing and so much fun! Michael was knowledgeable and personable, and geared the tour to our interest and tastes. Mykonos- We were greeted at the Mykonos Grand by the very friendly staff with top notch white glove service. The room, food and service at the resort was amazing. After the hustle and bustle of Athens and traveling we enjoyed laying at the beach and being waited on hand and foot. We went into Mykonos town one evening to enjoy little Venice and nautilus. Again the food and service at Nautilus was top notch. The highlights from our days in Mykonos were our outdoor massages and private beach sunset dinner our final night offered by the Mykonos grande. Naxos- was an amazing island. The Villa Marandi staff was so friendly and attentive, it felt like staying with family. The wind was a little intense, our room was spacious and our beach front view was amazing. We rented a car, the hotel made it super easy, and that really unlocked the island. We were able to explore, vigra miglis, chalki, aperianthos, and appallonas. The final day we took in a full beach day At vigra miglas. Santorini- on our first day we enjoyed exploring Fira, then on day two we climbed to the top of skaros , and then enjoyed the sunset cruise with captain Ted. On the second day we took the blue shades tour of the island with Billy which was the most efficient and enjoyable way to explore the whole island without missing out on anything important (one of the best values for our dollar on our whole trip of the additional excursions). On our last day we spent the whole day at 41 in a cabana on the black beach, until 6 pm. We came home that night to have a great dinner at five senses to watch the sunset. The restaurant kept giving us free drinks to keep us there because “they liked our vibe”. Overall when people ask us about our trip we tell them that we are so glad we had Petros plan our trip, that every single day was a homerun and that every meal was amazing! We can’t thank Petros enough for his patience, dedication and hard work. We will never forget this trip and his role in it. We can’t wait to work with Hellenic again and explore more of what Greece has to offer.
Fantastic experience: Could not have been better. From start to finish we were extremely happy with the service from Petros. He was also there to answer all of our questions, which were many considering booking our honeymoon during Covid. He held back no information and was completely honest with us while making our decisions. He picked out awesome islands and accommodations for us based on our needs/wants. I dreamed of going to Greece for my honeymoon since I was very young, this exceeded any expectations I could have had.
Fantastic experience: Just returned from a custom vacation designed by Hellenic Holidays. I traveled with my wife and 3 other couples, visiting Mykonos, Santorini, and Athens. The accommodations were fabulous-beautiful rooms with impressive views and a most attentive staff. The transfers from location to location were seamless. Private tours were informative and entertaining. Restaurant recommendations were tremendous and we were able to secure reservations for all eight by following the advise of Petros. It is hard to earn rave reviews from 8 travelers but that is exactly what we all felt upon our return. In addition, we feel that all attention was made for our safety with Covid. Appreciated the efforts to get us tested at the hotel.
Fantastic experience: We have just returned from a spectacular trip to Greece that was orchestrated by Petros Zissimos of Hellenic Holidays. Petros worked with us pre-planning the trip to match our interests. He organized all the details necessary to make our adventure worry-free, including hotels, transportation, tours, excursions, and numerous recommendations. Everything was first-class! Petros provided a detailed itinerary playbook, as well as in-trip support and post-trip follow-up. Petros' personal experience and knowledge of Greece is invaluable. We highly recommend Petros and Hellenic Holidays for a Greek vacation.
Fantastic experience: Our honeymoon could not have been more amazing and memorable and Petros was a huge part of that! The amount of detail and thought he puts into picking the right hotels, coordinating local travel, and recommending restaurants and activities is unmatched. The hotels were all perfect – luxurious, relaxing, and had such friendly and hardworking staff members. Each restaurant he recommends is better than the last. For each stop during the trip, he provides detailed suggestions of places to visit and things to see. His suggestions made it super easy and relaxing to plan out our days. All of the vendors Petros works with are highly professional and a joy to be around. We HIGHLY recommend Hellenic Holidays to anyone looking for a dream vacation to Greece!
Fantastic experience: WOW!!! Just go with Hellenic Holidays and stop searching on Google right now. Petros was professional and responsive while planning our 10 day trip to Greece. He is a very detail-oriented person with a wealth of knowledge and has every little detail written out in an incredible Playbook that we received before we left. He booked wonderful hotels with incredible service, gave many suggestions of restaurants and activities, and had all transfers (ferry/flight/drivers) already scheduled and organized for us. With that being said, our trip was STRESS-FREE and we could really enjoy ourselves while in Greece. Thank-you Hellenic Holidays!
Fantastic experience: If anyone is planning a holiday to Greece, Hellenic Holidays should be your one stop shopping. We visited Athens and all the sites there and then on to the Islands. Petros provided amazing restaurant suggestions, set up the best tour guide in Athens and the hotels we stayed at in Mykonos and Santorini were out of a movie! He also made all of the airline and ferry transfers seamless. This guy knows what he is doing!! Don't miss the sunset cruise in Santorini! really special! So happy Greece is open again. Plan a trip of a lifetime and definitely make it through Hellenic Holidays. You will not be disappointed!
Fantastic experience: Easily the best trip I have ever been on. Everything was well planned out and organized. Our itinerary was great, the hotels picked out for us were great as was the whole experience with the staff at Hellenic Holidays. I will definitely be using Petros and his team in the future. I didn't plan on visiting Greece again but after having such a pleasant experience, I cant help but ask myself why not got back. If your looking for boutique services that cater to Greece, Hellenic Holidays is the way to go.
Fantastic experience: There are no words to express our gratitude for the absolutely spectacular trip Petros organized for me and my family. He put together an amazingly detailed playbook that contained EVERYTHING we needed to know along with wonderful suggestions for every island including restaurants, sights to see, suggested tour companies, gratuity suggestions and much more. Every step of the way it felt like he was there holding our hands - from the seamless ground transfers to the sea jet to Santorini to the flight from Santorini to Athens. The walking tour to the Acropolis was amazing as was the sunset sail in Santorini. We visited a number of Petros's restaurant recommendations and one was better than the next. We didn't eat a single meal ANYWHERE that wasn't fresh, expertly prepared and absolutely delicious. But the most impressive part of all his wonderful planning, were the magnificent hotels that he arranged for us. The Petasos Beach Resort and Homeric Poems totally surpassed anything we could have imagined. The staff was helpful, attentive and very kind and the views were breathtaking. We initially told Petros we wanted to be in Oia on Santorini, but he assured us Firastefani was where we should be. We hired a driver our last day in Santorini who took us on a tour of the island, and while Oia was beautiful we would have HATED the crowds. Petros is an amazing travel agent and I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who wants to visit Greece. I'd give him 10 stars if I could!
Fantastic experience: So glad I found Petros and Hellenic Holidays. Our two week vacation in Greece was spectacular thanks to their services. The trip was seamless with every detail attended to from beginning to end. It’s truly a vacation when you have the advantage of an expert to consult with and to make all of your arrangements. Petros’ knowledge and expertise were invaluable. Our very comprehensive itinerary was complete with excursion and restaurant recommendations that included proprietor’s names; “tell them Petros sent you”. Tips on tipping was extremely helpful. Captain Ted’s sunset sailing excursion in Santorini was a wonderful experience and one of the highlights of our trip. I could do a whole other review on this group. The crew was perfect, the food delicious and the wine plentiful! And in Athens our private tour of The Parthenon and its museum led by “Machine gun Val” was fantastic; educational and entertaining! Not to mention the hotels. I was given choices of the most fantastic 5star resorts all of which blew us away. I made the huge mistake of arriving in Athens without having printed out the multiple vouchers I would need for all transportation and excursions. Petros was informed and probably awakened very early in the morning (due to the time difference). Still, he very graciously arranged for the hotel to print and provide me with the essential documents. I had total peace of mind while traveling knowing I could contact Petros if needed. We had the most wonderful time. This was the vacation of a lifetime!! Efcharisto poly Hellenic Holidays!
Fantastic experience: Stop searching for a travel agent and let Petros at Hellenic Holidays arrange your holiday. You will not be disappointed! He planned a tremendous trip for our family that was seamlessly executed. He really knows his stuff and you are in good hands with him. Thanks, Petros, for organizing the perfect journey for us!
Fantastic experience: #Best vacation ever!! Thank you Hellenic Holidays and Petros for organizing an absolutely superb vacation to Athens, Mykonos, Naxos and Santorini for us. This truly was the best vacation ever and couldn't have done it without your help. Your meticulously planning and recommendations of hotels, how to get from island to island, sites to see and restaurant choices made this vacation a lifetime experience. Thank you!!
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend booking with Hellenic Holidays if you are looking for your ultimate dream honeymoon in Greece! With all of the planning for the wedding, it was amazing to not have to deal with the honeymoon planning, and leaving it all in Petros hands! We planned our trip with Petros to Mykonos, Santorini, and Athens. All of our transportation to each location flowed so easily and stress-free. We were welcomed to each hotel with a bottle of delicious Greek wine. The hotels were unbelievable!! And the playbook with recommendations on restaurants/things to do made it so easy to map out our day to day activities and food. Thank you Hellenic Holidays for making our honeymoon a dream come true!
Fantastic experience: My family trip to Greece this July is unforgettable thanks to Petros Zissimos at Hellenic Holidays!! I found Hellenic Holidays on the internet during my research. I made an appointment and met with Petros at his office to discuss what I’m looking for. He also provided ideas from his own experience that would make for a more authentic holiday. With seven of us travelling to celebrate a milestone birthday, it was quite a daunting task to pull off alone. It was obvious after my meeting with Petros that he was the guy I’d want to work with. We did 10 days starting in Athens then Santorini, Mykonos and back to Athens. Everything from ground and ferry transfers to the luxury accommodations and activities planned were executed with perfection. Petros covered every little details you can imagine. Everyone he put us in contact with were very friendly and accommodating and gave us a real sense of the local culture. There were also many sweet surprises he included along the way that made for some wonderful memories. I HIGHLY recommend Hellenic Holidays if you’re looking for a hassle-free experience to Greece and its beautiful islands. You will not only get a vacation but memories to last a lifetime!
Fantastic experience: Petros with Hellenic Holidays made our honeymoon so magical! From the ease of transportation to each destination to the romantic hotel spots and our sunset catamaran sail, we couldn’t ask for more. We especially appreciated the detailed playbook with our itinerary, recommendations for dinners and excursions. We strongly recommend this company to other couples wanting to visit Greece.
Fantastic experience: Petros at Hellenic Holidays was one of the best travel agents we worked with. My wife and I visited Athens, Crete, Santorini, and Mykonos and with so much information to digest when we first started researching on our own, Petros listened to our interests and planned an amazing itinerary from start to finish. Our trip well exceeded our expectations so much that when we returned and began to tell people about it, we would start off by saying it was a bucket list trip that we were able cross off with a big smile. The hotels, transfers, and tours that were arranged for us were all outstanding and top notch service. In addition, the extensive restaurant recommendations we received were all so great and extremely helpful-every meal we ate was deliciously authentic and perfect! We will be talking about this vacation for the rest of time and hope to go back and visit different islands in the future. We will be sure to use Hellenic Holidays for future trips to Greece and highly recommend Petros and his team to anyone planning a trip to beautiful Greek islands.
Fantastic experience: WOW. I can't say enough good things about Petros and Hellenic Holidays. Our 2 week honeymoon was seamless from start to finish. I honestly wouldn't change one thing about it! I am so happy I found Petros, he did the most thorough job. Every hotel was perfection, all transfers were taken care of, and the restaurant recommendations were out of this world. We didn't have one mediocre meal the entire time. There was a ferry strike in Greece while we were there and Petros was on it before I could even contact him! He booked us back up flights just in case and checked us into all of our domestic flights within Greece. Thank you Petros for the trip of a lifetime, it was truly spectacular. We will be back!!
Fantastic experience: We used Petros/Hellenic Holidays for our 2-week honeymoon to Greece and it was the best decision we could ever make. From the initial phone call discussing our ideas and expectations to being on-call during our actual vacation, Petros was beyond accommodating and helpful for every step of the way. He took our vision and what we wanted out of our honeymoon, and custom tailored our vacation to perfection. With every stop, city, restaurant, activity, resort that we stayed at, we were more and more "Wowed!" as days went on. Petros is extremely knowledgable on Grecian culture, restaurants, things to do, resorts, etc., and tailored our honeymoon to meet our wants and needs according to our expectations and budget. Our honeymoon was nothing short of perfection and we are forever thankful for Petros' expertise, guidance and assistance! Thank you, Petros, for everything! We can't wait for our return to Greece to use his services again.
Fantastic experience: Petros did an absolute amazing job at planning my family's trip to greece. He selected the most amazing hotels, gave great restaurant recommendations, and planned all the transportation in advance so the entire 10 days was as stress free as possible. Upon arrival at every airport or ferry dock, there was someone there waiting for us to take us to our destination so we did not have to ever hail a cab or worry about how we were going to get somewhere. The staff at each hotel (New Hotel in Athens, Petasos beach resort in Mykonos, and Homeric Poems in Santorini) were so kind and accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. I cannot speak highly enough of this travel agency and Petros! There were no issues on the trip and he created a very detailed itinerary for us to review before the trip and to reference while we were there. 10/10 would recommend.
Fantastic experience: We usually do our own research and book our own vacations, but when we decided to finally visit Greece this year and started looking into options, we soon realized the task was overwhelming. We found Hellenic Holidays on the internet and arranged a meeting with Petros. He came up with a fabulous itinerary that took us to Athens, Mykonos, Naxos and Santorini. Hotels were all top notch and transportation and transfers went smoothly without a single glitch. There was always a friendly driver waiting for us when we got off a plane or a ferry. Petros checked us in and emailed our boarding passes to us for our flights from Athens to Mykonos and Santorini to Athens. He reserved a half-day tour of Athens and the Acropolis with a very knowledgeable tour guide and he booked us on a wonderful Sunset Dinner Cruise on a catamaran in the waters off Santorini ... a major highlight of our trip. If you plan on going to Greece, Petros at Hellenic Holidays is the only way to go. He is a perfectionist ... and it shows. Nothing but beautiful memories of a once-in-a-lifetime vacation!
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with Petros at Hellenic Holidays from beginning to end. I've done a lot of traveling around the world and typically plan the trips myself. However, for my 10 year wedding anniversary I wanted some help navigating Greece as I'd never been before. Petros was amazingly helpful - giving options and great suggestions. Every aspect of the trip was taken care of - all the details from when to be picked up at the airport and all transfers, etc. It made travel pretty effortless. He also kept to our budget and was very attentive during our trip when we had questions. Our trip was truly unforgettable and we have Petros and his team to thank. I highly recommend Hellenic Holidays if you're looking to go to Greece.
Fantastic experience: We could not be happier that we booked our honeymoon through Hellenic Holidays. From the beginning, Petros was responsive, informative, and helpful. We spoke to Petros on the phone so he could get an idea of what we were looking for in our trip, and he quickly followed up with a detailed proposal. He remained in touch after we booked, and a month before our trip he sent us an extremely helpful itinerary that outlined all of our travel information, documents, tips, packing list, and numerous ideas for restaurants and activities at each of our locations. The trip itself was seamless for us. We left right after our wedding and cannot imagine having to plan all of the hotels, transfers, etc by ourselves. All we had to do was show up in Greece and everything was handled for us! And all of the recommendations Petros provided us with were spot on. We would love to work with Petros and Hellenic Holidays again in the future.
Fantastic experience: We had the perfect honeymoon thanks to Petros and Hellenic Holidays!!! We were very busy leading up to our wedding and asked Petros to help with planning our dream vacation and he did everything! We went to 4 different destinations within Greece and everything was planned to perfection. All of our hotels were just what we wanted. They were all comfortable, clean and the people were all very nice and accommodating. Petros helped us plan some activities during the day at all of our destinations but also left a number of days open so we could do whatever we wanted. The transportation between destinations was easy and reliable. They were available for any questions 24/7 during our honeymoon and made sure everything was perfect for us. I can't say enough nice things about Petros and Hellenic Holidays. It was a pleasure working with them and they made our honeymoon the vacation of our dreams!
Fantastic experience: My husband googled Greece vacations and came upon Hellenic Holidays' website. He contacted them and began working with Petros Zissimos. Wow: what tremendous luck! Petros assisted us in everything, from airport pickups and transfers; to luxury hotels & accommodations; restaurant suggestions; and best of all, reputable, professional guides and activities. If you plan to spend time in Athens, tell Petros that you want to have Michael as your guide. He, too is outstanding. We traveled between Athens, Naxos and Santorini. Petros ensured that everything ran smoothly. Our drivers and contacts were all professional, friendly and helpful. Our travels were seemless and smooth. Our daughter has a dairy allergy. Petros created an English/Greek document that we could use throughout the country at any restaurant and for any emergencies (fortunately, there were none). As this allergy is new to us, I was apprehensive about traveling to a foreign country and explaining the circumstances. Petros also contacted each hotel individually to alert them of the allergy. Fortunately, EVERY restaurant accommodated her needs without complaint. And when we reached out to Petros from Greece, he responded in a very timely manner. He made sure we were checked into our flights and kept a text thread going with us in case of snafus. There were none. I highly, highly recommend Hellenic Holidays and Petros in particular.
Fantastic experience: Petros (Hellenic Holidays) did an outstanding job putting our 2 week vacation to Greece together. Every detail was taken care of for us and the trip was seamless from beginning to end. From being picked up at the airport, to the first class hotels, to the fantastic restaurants that he recommended and to his knowledge of Greece and what we wanted from our vacation. If your planning on going to Greece this is the guy to go to.
Fantastic experience: I reached out to Petros from Hellenic Holidays to help make a dream become a reality and ring in my 40th birthday in Greece! From the second we landed in Athens until we returned home, the experience was seamless and flawless. Every driver that picked us up was punctual and so kind and helpful. The hotels were perfect and the staff in each of them were helpful. I got sad to leave Athens, but then Mykonos was amazing. Then I was sad to leave Mykonos, but Santorini took my breath away...and no other sunset will ever compare!! So, all in all the trip just got better and better. Each excursion and hotel chosen by was top line in their rooms, restaurants, views and staff. We were made to feel like family with birthday card left for me in one hotel to complimentary bottles of wine in another. My husband and I both work and have three children that keep us busy and being able to trust someone in creating a dream vacation was a blessing! I wouldn't hesitate to call on Hellenic Holidays for another vacation to the country that now has a piece of my heart forever!! No other birthday celebration can ever compare.
Fantastic experience: Hellenic Holidays (and more specifically, Petros) organized the best trip that we have ever taken in our lives. We opted for a 12 night trip to Greece for our honeymoon, and the suggestions and attention to detail that was provided was second to none. He ensured that we had more options for eating, drinking, and fun than we could ever imagine for each day, and all of his recommendations were phenomenal. The hotels that were chosen for us should be particularly recognized - each were unique and top class. Petros made himself available for any and all questions before and during our trip, and we cannot possibly thank him enough for the experience he helped to tailor for us.
Fantastic experience: It was a most special trip: the celebration of two birthdays, — one a 90th — planned within a week when our plans were suddenly cancelled by another travel agent. On hearing our disappointment, Petros Zissimos of Hellenic Holidays moved into action, listening to our interests and our hopes, to our experience as travelers and to our few special needs, and then shaped a trip to address them all. We saw Athens and Crete and Santorini and Mykonos. The guide in Athens that Petros specially arranged for us, skillfully walked us up to the Acropolis without our knowing we were climbing so high, spoke with extraordinary knowledge of its context and its evolution, was charming and Petros’ specific choice for us, given our interests. He guided us to the remarkable museum looking at the Acropolis, telling its story. And the next day, he did the same when we visited the Peloponnesus. Petros chose our routes and our destinations with great sensitivity to our articulated preferences. Our accommodations throughout the trip were, without exception graceful, beautiful and most comfortable. His arrangements for other guides, ferries, domestic flights, and ground transportation were meticulous. His “playbook” was filled with detailed recommendations of things to see and do, most special places to dine, and how to tip. We followed his suggestions meticulously — and with great pleasure. It was altogether a memorable trip for us both. We recommend Petros with enthusiasm and without reservations.
Fantastic experience: I am extremely lucky to have found Petros for our honeymoon! Visiting Greece was always a dream of mine, and Petros exceeded all expectations. I loved the fact that he gets to know you and what type of vacation/honeymoon you are looking for. He was always professional and knowledgeable. All throughout our trip my husband and I kept saying how impressed we were with the hotels, restaurant recommendations and his connections throughout Greece. Our tour guide in Athens was phenomenal, my husband is a history buff and any question he asked, our guided was able to answer, plus the tour was private! Sailing in Santorini was one of the highlights of our trip and the food served was delicious! Petros makes planning a honeymoon stress free - all of our inter-island transportation was taken care of and our transfers to and from the airport or ferry. We haven't even been back from Greece for a week yet, and I'm already recommending Petros to friends. Thank you Petros for designing a trip of a lifetime, it was such a memorable experience and we cannot thank you enough. You have a client for life anytime we want to travel to Greece, and we will be back! :)
Fantastic experience: Petros at Hellenic Holidays was a godsend for our 10-day Greece vacation! We were intimidated by the all the logistics and costs of a Greek vacation, and we had certain islands we wanted to visit that weren't covered by many of the pre-fab cruises (or they were way too expensive). I found Hellenic Holidays after googling for tailor-made vacation options. I spoke with Petros about our desired itinerary and our price range. He created the perfect trip for us! Petros is very knowledgeable and is a master of his craft. When I had questions, he provided all the information and unobtrusively offered his opinion (which I always took!). He is meticulous in the details he provides in the Playbook, which contains all the travel logistics as well as personally cultivated recommendations for restaurants, bars, and sightseeing. One of the best words to describe the value of Hellenic Holidays is "flawless." Each transition was smooth and we never had to worry about things like - What time should we leave? How will we get there? It was all covered. The hotels he booked for us were fantastic! All the staff were so helpful and friendly, and we often left feeling like family. We felt very taken care of and knew that we could Whatsapp Petros for help if need be (because he wakes up early to monitor the flights/ferries in case he needs to jump in with last minute adjustments). His restaurant suggestions were top notch and we had the best food of our lives. Petros worked perfectly within our budget and we had the trip of a lifetime. He puts extreme care and attention into all that he does, and you can feel it the moment you set foot in Greece and begin your travel adventure. We traveled to Athens, Milos, Santorini, and Naxos - and will be calling Petros some day in the future to see even more of the beautiful Greek isles!
Fantastic experience: If your thinking about going to Greece and really not sure of where to stay, where to eat, what to see, things to do & places you should not go, then you have to call Petros at Hellenic Holidays. I did not worry about a single thing during my trip. He laid out everything, and I mean everything. The hotels were to die for, the restaurants were amazing, from fine dining to the Taverna's. All transfers were taken care of everywhere and we even had a sunset cruise included in our trip that cannot be put into words! All we did was follow our custom made Itinerary provided to us from Petros and relax & enjoy our trip. I will never forget our trip to Greece and thanks to Hellenic Holidays & Petros, it was pain free to plan and enjoy!
Fantastic experience: Petros is an absolute master of his craft. Hes very passionate about his work and it shows. Every hotel and transportation was paid for beforehand and it took all the worry out of everything. Most people we dealt with knew Petros personally and they took care of us like we were family, from bottles of champagne to personalized notes in our rooms. We wouldnt have gotten the full experience of Greece if we tried to plan this trip on our own as opposed to going through Hellenic Holidays
Fantastic experience: If you are looking to go to Greece for your honeymoon or any reason at all, Petros and his team are the agency for you! We went on a over 10 day trip to Greece for our honeymoon and everything went swimmingly. The itinerary that Petros prepared was extremely thorough and provided us with great suggestions for restaurants, attractions, and general things to do (take him up on the suggestions - Kiki's in Mykonos and Athenia House in Santorini to name a few restaurants) . Notably, we had a brief stay in Athens and continued on to Mykonos and Santorini. Petros booked us on a semi private sailing tour around Santorini which was a great way to cap what was in already excellent honeymoon. We would definitely recommend using Petros and his team to book your getaway!
Fantastic experience: Just got back from island hoping in Greece! We had an amazing trip - it exceeded our exceptions! We could have never done it without Petros and Hellenic Holidays! Everything he arranged was perfect .... the location and choice of hotels, restaurants, transfers, and private tours! Petros’s advice and detail planning made the trip stress free and relaxing! It was obvious that he had a personal relationship with the hotels because they went out of their way to make us feel special. I think they even gave us their best rooms since each one had an amazing view off our balcony! We can not thank Hellenic Holidays enough for helping us celebrate our 25th year anniversary with a trip of a life time! I would highly recommend Hellenic Holidays to anyone who is planning a trip to Greece. Save yourself time and energy and let Petros help you create the perfect vacation!! I promise you won’t be disappointed!!
Fantastic experience: “PETROS FOR THE WIN!” we kept finding ourselves saying this throughout our 10-day honeymoon in Athens, Naxos and Santorini. Not only was every hotel and restaurant recommendation on point, but he completely took the legwork out of the trip. This is SO NICE after planning a wedding for more than a year. He literally thought through every single thing. For example, one of the drivers give us our ferry tickets so we wouldn’t have to waste time getting them. He checked us into our flights (within Greece) and purchased additional luggage allowances. Also ensured our transfers were on time, with plenty of time to spare. Throughout the entire process he was patient (we had him redo our itinerary 3 times because we couldn’t decide where we wanted to go/for how long) and never complained. Just prior to the trip, he gave us a final itinerary with thorough explanations of things to do, sights to see, who to hire, where to go, etc. This thing was our bible, and it left just enough planned and just enough free time to go with the flow and get into our own rhythm for the trip. He also made himself available via cell phone/what’s app, but we didn’t need to contact him because everything was going so well. Did I mention we had two “surprise” hotel upgrades while we were there? It was absolutely the best vacation of our lives… the perfect way to begin our new life together… due in large part to the fact that we used Hellenic Holidays for our trip.
Fantastic experience: I wanted to take the time to thank you for the wonderful trip that you helped put together for my family. I feel as though I can speak for all of us when I say that the trip was filled with memories that we will hold for a lifetime. My father had always dreamed of a trip to Greece, and we are so fortunate to have these memories with him before his untimely passing. I have been reading Greek Mythology for as long as I can remember, to see the archeological sites first hand - I was able to imagine myself in the places that these stories took place. Our tour guide in Athens, CeeCee, was absolutely incredible. She was extremely knowledgeable, and was able to answer all of our questions and then some. While on the tour we would see a ruin off in the distance that wasn’t even a part of the Acropolis and she’d know exactly what it was and a story behind it. At each new stop on our journey, the accommodations you arranged for us were more spectacular than the last. In Athens, for the rooftop bar at The New Hotel to have a view of the Acropolis was an incredible suprise. In Crete, the view from the Porto Elounda rooms was breathtaking and we loved the easy beach access that the resort provided. In Santorini, my sister was reluctant to leave Fira with its white washed buildings and spectacular views. However, she was glad to cave to our itinerary when we discovered what a treat you had in store for usl. We were blown away by the sailing trip that you arranged, which provided a better view of the sunset than we could have ever hoped. Naxos, however, was the best of the best. While each hotel was amazing in its own right, everything about 18 Grapes was a pleasure. We enjoyed the easy walk to the beach, and wandering through the port town, but it was also wonderful to relax by the pools and enjoy the hotel itself. The restaurant, associated with 18 Grapes, Gorgana was delicious. While all the food we ate on our trip was incredible, Gorgona was the only restaurant that we returned to for a second meal. We are so grateful for the guidance you provided for our trip. You truly understood what we were looking for, a balance of exploration and relaxation, of dips in the crystal blue grecian waters and walks through the ancient temples and palaces. At each stop we were greeted by spectacular views, outstanding accommodations, and thoughtful hints on how to spend our free time, all strung together with luxurious door to door transport services. In summation the only complaint I could imagine is that we had to go home.
Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough positive things about the expertise and attention to detail from Hellenic. Petros was AMAZING to work with and everything he set up, from the accommodations to travel transfers to tours were seamless and top-notch! Electra Metropolis, 18 Grapes, and Astra Suites all exceeded our expectations ... and everyone we dealt with gave us the utmost attention. You absolutely cannot go wrong with Petros and his staff - I highly recommend them without reservation .... 5 STARS *****
Fantastic experience: We just completed our 10 day custom vacation to Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini organized by Petros at Hellenic Hollidays. The trip was amazing! Great restaurant recommendations for each day, travel tips and recommended side trips during our days at leisure made it easy yet ensured a top gourmet and luxury experience. The private tours in Athens were some of the best I've experienced and the evening sail in Santorini was exceptional. I highly recommend using Hellenic Hollidays to anyone looking for an authentic experience beyond the tourist /cruise ships stops
Fantastic experience: My husband and I spent our honeymoon in Greece in July 2018. We found out about Hellenic Holidays through a friend who used Petros to book her honeymoon. Petros was so easy to work with. His recommendations for hotels, restaurants, and things to do were exactly what we were looking for. He really takes the time to personalize your itinerary to reflect your interests and preferences. Petros takes care of every detail, including transfers to take you to the airport, hotel, and ferry terminal. The trip also included a private tour of the Acropolis and a catamaran sailing trip in Santorini which was absolutely beautiful and included a delicious lunch. After spending years planning our wedding, it was so nice to know that Petros was there to take care of everything and plan our entire honeymoon for us. A few weeks before your trip he sends a very detailed itinerary which is around 30 pages long and includes everything you need to know, including a packing list and travel tips. I would highly recommend Petros and Hellenic Holidays to anyone who is traveling to Greece and wants a truly authentic experience.
Fantastic experience: Petros booked the most fabulous vacation. Everything was first class, from the choice of hotels to our transfers. It truly was a dream vacation. I could have never had such a phenomenal experience without Petros expertise. Everyday was pure heaven. I highly recommend Hellenic Holidays in order to have the vacation of your dreams!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely incredible Greece vacation! Petros planned an amazing dream vacation for us (Athens-Mykonos-Santorini). We did almost every recommendation on Petros' itinerary and were not once disappointed. With each day we were more impressed than the last. With travel to each island planned, luxurious hotels booked, and a detailed itinerary full of excellent recommendations each day, our vacation was the exact stress-free vacation we needed!
Fantastic experience: Epic Honeymoon! Thank you Petros for arranging the trip of a lifetime for us. I was happy enough just having a beautiful new wife in my life but Petros you had to go and blow my mind with the level of adventure, scenery, food and history that is Greece. Whether we were 4 wheeling through Naxos, beach hopping by ferry through Mikanos or dining on a catamaran at sunset every moment was greater than the last(I'm not exaggerating). Petros you organized our destinations and accommodations perfectly and were always just a whatsapp message away if we needed you. Memorable
Fantastic experience: Just wow! Using Petros for our honeymoon might have been the best thing we did. From the beginning he was completely helpful, personable, diligent, and knowledgeable. He knows the Greek islands so well and put together a trip for us with countless recommendations of restaurants, activities, etc that were spot on. All the hotels we stayed at (in Athens, Mykonos, Naxos, and Santorini) were outstanding with amazing service, location, and views. We have already passed his contact information along to friends and would highly recommend him for anyone looking to go on an unforgettable trip to Greece.
Fantastic experience: Booking with Petros at Hellenic Holidays was the best choice I could have made! He made everything so seamless and it was definitely the vacation of a lifetime!! If you are going to Greece book with Hellenic Holiday!!
Fantastic experience: Going through Petros at Hellenic Holidays was the best decision we ever made. With all the wedding planning we just wanted to be able to not worry about the honeymoon but still wanted to make sure the honeymoon was special. Wow did Petros and Hellenic deliver. We literally didn't need to do anything and we had the best honeymoon ever. On the trip everything was taken care of for us. Airport check ins, transfers from the airport/ferry terminal to your hotel and preferential check in check out times all taken care of. Hellenic even went above and beyond and had bottles of wine, champagne and other other special honeymoon touches arranged beforehand like rose petals scattered around the bed at all our hotels. Lastly, all the hotels and locations were incredible. Petros picked beautiful hotels in locations that exactly fit our needs and the people at the hotels knew Petros and Hellenic and gave us upgraded rooms because we booked through him. If you want to have the perfect honeymoon in Greece with all those special touches and that you want on your honeymoon, look no further.
Fantastic experience: Have you ever taken a vacation that was just ok? Well, imagine the complete opposite...a bucket list dream vacation. It was arranged by Petros Zissimos at Hellenic Holidays. I’ve been in the travel industry for over 30 years, 12 years as a retail travel agent. My husband and I decided to go on our delayed honeymoon vacation to Greece. I called a business contact who knows Greece like no other, hoping for recommendations. She, without hesitation, introduced me to Petros with Hellenic Holidays. After a 15-minute conversation, Petros arranged the trip of a lifetime. From car and drivers at each location, the best hotels, restaurant recommendations, day tours for sightseeing, beaches we would love and a sunset cruise in Santorini, every detail was taken care of. If we wanted to be adventurous, or just relax, we had choices. We did a little of both, but mostly relaxed and enjoyed the amazing views that Greece has to offer. It was easy to hide away and escape the world with the hotels that Petros recommended. Mykonos Grand Hotel: with its impeccable service, panoramic views, amazing restaurant, oversized salt water pool and a beautiful room with an outdoor Jacuzzi on the private sun deck. Villa Mirandi in Naxos: Relaxed atmosphere with attention to detail. Only 16 rooms, In-house restaurant and bar, charming staff, tucked away from the crowds. Loved it so much we didn’t leave the spacious suite with the large private sun deck for two days. In Santorini we were treated to the Astra Suites. Truly a romantic experience with views that made us speechless. Intimate dinners on our private deck, with the most spectacular Sunset views that last for hours. And swimming in our private, heated, secluded pool, it was hard to tear ourselves away. At Petros’ suggestion we took a sunset cruise in Santorini that started at 2pm with sights of the volcanic islands to swimming in the warm sulphur pools, to a gourmet barbecue with a finale of the sun sinking into the Aegean Sea. This is not to be missed. Each island and hotel had its own unique charm. Petros understood exactly what we wanted. If you’re looking for the ultimate Cycladic experience, Petros Zissimos at Hellenic Holidays is the right person to help you. We had an experience of a lifetime. We look forward to going back to Greece and we will call Petros.
Fantastic experience: Hellenic Holidays arranged a wonderful vacation for my family. Petros took the time to understand the experience we wanted and delivered it. We visited Athens, Milos and Santorini. From a logistics perspective everything went smoothly. The hotel choices were excellent. The properties were beautiful, the rooms comfortable and the staff attentive and caring. I still cannot decide if I liked the Melian Boutique or the Astra Suites better, both were amazing. We dined at Strofi, Enalion, and Medusa. Great recommendations, all were excellent. The Blue Shades of Greece Tour was a good recommendation. The guide was great and we covered a lot of ground.
Fantastic experience: We used Hellenic Holidays for our honeymoon and the trip was absolutely fantastic. Starting with the logistics of the trip, everything was taken care of and went smoothly. It was so reassuring to simply arrive in the airport and know we has a transfer waiting at each destination. On top of that, every person Petros set us up with were knowledge, accommodating and most importantly friendly! There is not one thing I would've have changed about the trip, and I would like to add how great Petros's recommendations were. From the restaurants to the tours, everything he suggested was prefect. In fact, one restaurant he sent us to in Naxos was so delicious, we recommended it to others at the hotel we stayed at, and everyone came back raving about it. I highly recommend not only going to Greece, but using Hellenic Holidays for your honeymoon. Trust in Petros, he will not disappoint.
Fantastic experience: We can’t say enough about the hard work Petros put into our perfect honeymoon! We were very fortunate to come across his website - Petros was incredibly responsive and we connected over his passion for Greece and envisioning a top-tier experience for us given our varied interests. He suggested Athens, Náxos and Santorini to capture history, nature and leisure all in one trip - after booking with him, every other major concern was taken care of seamlessly. In a busy year for us, I can’t say enough about what a relief it was to “unload” one big ticket item onto a trusted partner, and have it managed without fuss or issue. Prior to our trip, we received a detailed itinerary that told us where to go and what to expect from each transfer, tour and experience we booked; also within were recommendations for attractions, walks, and high-quality dining (we followed through on several of these, and were not disappointed!) Petros scheduled another call with us to ensure the itinerary was clear, and to share other useful tips (we were going to travel with a nominal amount of cash for instance; Petros told us to take advantage of low State-side fees and double it - he was entirely correct in this, with many smaller shops and tavernas still preferring cash). Petros alerted us early to an air controller strike that would delay our flight, allowing us to reschedule transfer to our departing airport; on his end, his team was ready and waiting for our late flight when we reached Athens. In similar fashion, every experience we booked through Petros or at his recommendation was smooth, allowing us to really enjoy our time in each locale. Our accommodations were excellent - exactly as described (certainly no bad surprises - there were a few good ones!), with fantastic staff and proximity to major attractions. The focus of our honeymoon was truly in spending time with each other and appreciating Greece! - we enthusiastically recommend HH and Petros to others wanting a great honeymoon!
Fantastic experience: Petros made our trip a joy! The Electra Hotel in Athens, the Naxian Collection on Naxos and the Vedema on Santorini were outstanding properties. The staff and drivers at each location were most helpful and informative. Petros kept up with us throughout our visit and informed us of a one day transportation strike, resulting in a glorious extra day on Naxos. I highly recommend Hellenic Holidays to plan your trip. A+++; top drawer all the way!! Thank you, Petros!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Hellenic Holidays for the Travel + Leisure A-list! My family of 6 just got back from a fantastic trip to Athens, Rhodes, and Crete. My daughter worked with Petros a couple of years ago to plan her honeymoon, and when we started talking about planning a family trip, we knew Hellenic Holidays would do another incredible job. And they did! We traveled from the end of April to the beginning of May with our children and their partners. The travel itself was a breeze - Petros arranged our in-Greece transportation to/from the airports and to/from the islands. The drivers were punctual, friendly, and shared interesting facts about their cities. And the planning process was so fun! We did a couple of three-way calls with Petros to talk about what we wanted to get out of the trip. Petros gave us hands-on attention, and based on his extensive personal knowledge of the different destinations, he crafted the perfect trip for us. Each of our three hotels were fabulous: spectacular views, unbeatable hospitality, and incomparable locations. Hellenic Holidays also arranged a walking tour of the Acropolis in Athens and the Minoan ruins in Crete. The tour guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible. We went to several restaurants recommended by Hellenic Holidays. Each restaurant greeted us with wonderful hospitality and of course the food was fantastic. We appreciated the structure of the itinerary and restaurant recommendations coupled with the flexibility of deciding which recommendation to try on a given day. As my future daughter-in-law said: "It was the trip of a lifetime."
Fantastic experience: The best way to visit Greece. Petros always create unforgetable packages... and always you feel his personal care ... continue with this way . unfortunately I can give only 5 stars but your service cannot be rated.
Fantastic experience: You're in good hands with Petros and Hellenic Holidays! My wife and I booked our honeymoon through Petros and he did an amazing job in designing our itinerary. He is extremely knowledgeable about all things Greece and was able to answer all of our questions until we felt comfortable that our itinerary was tailored to our vision. The final itinerary we received was so detailed and included amazing restaurant suggestions and super fun excursions. Every hotel we stayed in was absolutely fabulous and we felt like rock stars in all of them. Everyone knew him and spoke so highly of him! Our favorite part of the whole trip was the sailing trip in Santorini, so much fun and the food was SO GOOD! Efharisto Petros! We highly recommend him to everyone and hope to book another trip with him in the future.
